-*drilled* in the eye with a tennis ball last night.
If you're not symptomatic for retinal detachment (e.g. increased floaters, flashing lights in any direction, or curtains being pulled across your vision) right now, at least get a dilated retinal exam sometime next week. I've had patients who presented with retinal detachments, but whose trauma occurred weeks, sometimes months, earlier (the injury caused a small retinal tear which was initially asymptomatic, but over time fluid seeped in and underneath the retina causing it to detach). If you do have any of those symptoms, then call someone today (preferably a retina specialist) and tell them you think you might have detached your retina and don't eat or drink anything until they see you. Seriously, if you're symptomatic don't wait -- detached retinas are true ocular emergencies.

Retinal detachments scare the piss out of me. I had a vitreous detachment and was on the call to my doc to see him immediately. “You’ll see floaters for a few days” was a ton of bricks lifted.

Eh, the Miami doctors/staff absolutely served up red meat for the media by having the Coach/Tua say it was a back issue when he was clearly suffering from a concussion. The impact yesterday was minimal by comparison to some of the hard hits we've seen in the NFL but, since he wasn't put in concussion protocol, he ends up in damn near fencing posture with a possibly serious brain injury. That's on the staff and Tua for testing those waters.

Speaking of national media, they have no idea who TF C-Rod is, do they? I've seen three separate attempts to undermine our chances because of a lack of rushing attack (specifically the stuff stat and YPC). Ya'll realize that's the two things that C-Rod will negate entirely, right? Then they say our line is leaky, like Ole Miss isn't suspect up front themselves.

Final thought on this matter, our defense is good enough to keep us in any game we play. This is our first game as a complete offense (best RB, best QB and best WR combo we've had since?) and I think we are gonna ROLL.

“‘We’re not gonna get a lot of sacks today. That’s fine, but we’re going to take this Heisman guy — everyone’s saying in our division of our conference is going to be a Heisman winner — we’re going to ruin his career. We’re going to ruin his season today. That’s our job. If you buy in to what I’m telling you, it’s going to be over by the end of the night.’

Inject that into my veins! Mark is a bad mfer, and his teams will fight like hell for him.

I won't forget that look in AR's eyes in the second half. He was scared shitless, and we absolutely ended his season that night.

Hope we have some fuel for tomorrow. I think going on the road will be enough, but I trust Stoops will have our guys ready to murder Ole Miss.

This would be false. He was thrown like a rag doll and his head whip lashed into the turf.



Didn't really need to see it again but, you're right, minimal was a poor choice of words. It wasn't exactly like the head shots you see in Ravens vs. Steelers either.

Reminded me a lot of the Chargers TE (Parham?) injury from last year. Hitting the back of your head at any speed is no joke.

Hope the guy is OK.

Few things collectively bone up sportswriters like playing “gotcha” with football teams and concussions.

Can I go a scroll without seeing another F’ing Tua headline? The dude is fragile as a wine glass.
Lol. Chad showing his true biased colors.

Lol. Chad showing his true biased colors.

How am I biased? I root for the Dolphins regularly now, including last week when Tua got lightly pushed down by a cooling edgerusher who was pulling up and had to leave the game.

It’s just another example of my #1 issue with sportswriters. Their career is covering sports - a rather trivial matter in the grand scheme of things. So any time they get a chance to cover anything somewhat meaningful, it’s bukkakefest, “here’s our chance to be Brokaw!!!!!”

It’s a storyline. It’s not Pearl Harbor.

These MFers were telling us 10 years ago that football was on the brink of extinction.

Last night was a newsworthy event. He shouldn't have been playing and it was pretty effed up to watch live. I never take the medias' back, but they're right in this event. NFL and Dolphins deserve every bit of **** they're getting.

That type of injury is why I wouldn't allow my kids play the sport.

I’m not going to allow my daughter to play football either fwiw … Unless Gary Barnett is coaching again and recruits her to be a kicker.

I just trust that guy.

You misspelled Paul Blake.

- My boys play football and love it.

- My youngest, 4, can backhand a frisbee perfectly. No ****. Like 30 feet. I didn’t perfect that technique until probably sophomore year of college. It’s the only way he’s every thrown - just a natural. Maybe make me some money some day?

- He also calls the frisbee a “crispy.” So he’ll be like, “hey daddy, want to go out back and do some crispies?!”, and I’m like, well yes, son, I do actually. Give me a crispy boy for this project. Hand grenade, yellow belly.

- My wife has 22 goddamned pairs of shoes laying around this house. It’s incredible.

- wish I could have joined in earlier this morning in real time for the folks listening to the Childers album for the first time. I like it. Unfortunately, I had **** to do. I always have **** to do, it seems. I hate having to do ****.

- These truly wealthy people who could otherwise retire but keep doing **** “because what else would I do,” “I would get bored,” “I would lose my edge!”, etc., are sociopaths. You mean you can’t find anything else to do besides goddamned work?? What maniacs.

Anytime Gary Barnett comes up I want to remind people that Pat Forde played football for him in high school in Colorado and he wrote two glowing columns in the CJ about what a great, wonderful man Gary Barnett was and he was everything right about college football. Barnett would later have players involved in a sexual misconduct scandal where Barnett tampered with sworn testimony and had a ton of other recruiting violations. Forde would go on to help Rick Pitino write books and he likes to talk **** about Cal. A fat chick with a prison pen pal is a better judge of character.

Grove tent is set up.

Pretty wild watching these companies having small armies setting up tailgate tents and all associated with it so quickly.

Small group of four of us made the trip. Set up right across from “Coulter Hall” in a white tent directly behind a HUGE red tent Ole Miss tent. Name is on it, first name Nathan, if anyone wants to drop by.

LFG. Ready to run through a wall.
